Fair and Balanced? Check out a comparison of FOX's coverage of Tea Party and anti-war protests. Quite a difference, n'est pas? FOX is a joke, and most people know that.

Megan Kelly admits FOX promoted and publicized tea party event beforehand:

A legitimate news channel does not promote protests, PERIOD. Watch FOX all you like, but don't pretend it's legitimate news.

People like Glenn Beck are dangerous because they only care about ratings and money, have no professional integrity or education relevant to what they are talking about, and make a career from conspiracy theories. If you choose to get your "news" from him, I feel truly sad for you.

Mel

11/06/2009 09:52:20 AM

I assure you, truly educated people would never watch Glenn Beck for any other reason than entertainment. And for someone to say FOX didn't organize the big Tea Party event, we can clearly see otherwise by watching the channel. In fact, here's a FOX producer telling the tea partiers when to cheer, for God sake: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pFCBeKcd-Wk

Fox News has the only honest and thorough reporting.. it's the ONLY news I watch!

"the more educated", excuse me. Not "more more educated". That sounds undereducated :-) or perhaps senile

JohnH

11/05/2009 05:30:36 PM

I'm starting to think that more more educated (or just plain aware) you are, the more likely you are to be an independent! Lou Dobbs quoted some figures on CNN last night that showed the ranks of independents are swelling, at the expense of both the Dems and the Repubs. I'm tired of both parties, quite frankly.

oh Mel

11/04/2009 12:20:13 PM

I know you're still in school and in your 30s, but it's a fact that the MORE educated you are (unless your uber-educated like a college professor who has pains of white guilt), the more likely you are to be a Republican.
Sorry to burst your bubble, babe.

good letter. i agree completely.

Idiots, eh?

11/04/2009 08:32:52 AM

Fox is the only major news outlet that covers the outings of ACORN, Van Jones, Anita Dunn and various others, and some people say it's not news and calls its viewers idiots! Ha. Keep screeching - it's catching up to you fast!!

MSNBC is the most biased 24 hour cable news network there is....except for Fox News. I watch both, watching Fox right now. Just one thing, I agree with the sentiments of MSNBC, and think Fixed News is offensive to my sensibilities. I watch it like I would enjoy castor oil. So I relate to those who think Fox speaks for them, I just don't agree with their politics.

I totally agree with John H.

just watching rachel maddow on msnbc. now there's an open-minded, unopionated commentator/news reporter. sooner or later, even the gov run media may become dis-enchanted with the real obama. people are awakening to the middle of the road obama campaigner and the far left radical president. there's a reason why fox leads---people want to hear the truth.

Republican

11/03/2009 03:20:30 PM

Obama and other democrats always try to discredit republicans or FOX News when they hit the nail on the head about the Obama administration. Obama's camp is like a dictatorship. They don't want anyone showing their sins.....if they do they will be punished. Does this not sound like a dictorship to you?????

to Mel

11/03/2009 03:07:19 PM

oops, sorry. Not news station, but news network.

to Mel

11/03/2009 03:06:26 PM

You are certainly an arrogant piece of work. How dare you declare all Fox viewers as uneducated and unable to distinquish the truth? When we get to the end of Obama's four years, I just hope we still have a country worth fighting for, and that we have not lost all our freedoms of expression. The real problem is, news or not, Fox is the only station not afraid to stand up to your "little Hitler".

JohnH

11/03/2009 03:02:09 PM

See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3LUid0IZ2w

especially the 2nd half. Not that Rachel Maddow is my favorite. I don't watch MSNBC, as they're too liberal for my taste. But she raises a valid point in that video.

The tea partys are not anti-govermmen or organizd by Fox. If think otherwise prove it.

JohnH

11/03/2009 01:28:37 PM

One thing Fox has done that a news organization shouldn't do is organize and hold anti-government rallies. That's going way beyond what an objective news organization is supposed to do. They're supposed to report on the happenings of the day, not cause them.

tk

11/03/2009 01:03:49 PM

Regardless of what anyone thinks about FOX it is not the Obama's place to comment on what we should and shouldn't watch. What's next only R &B music or Rock n Roll. His comments are disheartening to say the least.

Leslie

11/03/2009 11:52:41 AM

I watch Fox to get my jokes for the day! LOL!

Hmm

11/03/2009 11:36:52 AM

There's not been another presidency that has acted the way it has towards FOX NEWS or any news agency the way the Obama clan has. Why? THE TRUTH HURTS!!! Yes I voted for him & I'm Afro American.

steve

11/03/2009 11:28:41 AM

WOW mel! Less educated and can't discern lies and propaganda? That's what you think of FOX viewers? How bout Charlie Gibson denying any knowledge of the ACORN scandal over a week after the news was broken on FOX and others? Obama's sins will "FIND HIM OUT" and Americans will suffer for his lack of leadership.

BB

11/03/2009 11:20:49 AM

Post a Fox lie.

Mel

11/03/2009 11:05:50 AM

My first comment doesn't seem to be posting. But the bottom line is that FOX isn't just opinion (even in their objective news shows) but that they intentionally lie. It's the lying that really makes them not legitimate as a news source of any kind. MSNBC is lefty, but they don't get away with lying. I think fans of FOX tend to have less education and can't discern lies and propaganda, and FOX takes advantage of that fact.

CNN interview

11/03/2009 10:37:55 AM

Valerie Jarrett was asked in a CNN why MSNBC did not get the same treatment as Fox News. She of course had no answer.

Terry

11/03/2009 09:03:50 AM

There is not much fact based news available. Most have turned to entertaining their "base".
The fact that obama attacked Fox News says more about the other networks than it does about Fox.

To "Hmm"..

11/03/2009 09:03:28 AM

Love the sense of humor! Politics needs more humorists like yourself. Maybe then more folks might pay attention.

Umm....you just did what you said you wouldn't. Are you a politician? Or just an easily duped Conservative?

Hmm

11/03/2009 08:58:00 AM

If FOX news wasnt reporting the TRUTH, then why is it bothering the White House so much? Seems to me the White House wants to keep away the only news channel that reports the TRUTH FAIR & BALANCED!! As the old saying goes "The guilty dog always barks".

tristan

11/03/2009 08:44:40 AM

So lets all watch TVLAND and the CARTOON Channel! Why is it we all can just agree to disagree and not censor out all those voices that disagree with our perspectives!

George (different one)

11/03/2009 08:41:49 AM

I think they all have the right to their opinions. Fox and MSNBC need to clarify they are no longer journalists, only talking heads. Ollberman is the most biased 'news' source on TV.

George

11/03/2009 07:16:57 AM

Freedom of the press is absolutely important to a democratic society.Exchange of thought is good.Fox helps balance out the influence of cnn and other major news networks.

FOX does news?

FOX/MSN

11/03/2009 06:41:21 AM

What's the real difference besides ideology. MSN is as much a mouthpiece for Obama as FOX is for RNC.

new

11/03/2009 05:20:37 AM

I also agree that it is unwise to single out fox the way the Obama administration has. It increases the importance of fox and the administration appears weak by seeing fox as a threat.

11/03/2009 01:18:40 AM

Make that, "newspaper". Of course, people watch the network, I even do, at least enough to know the extent of the propaganda they spew. People would also watch public executions and train wrecks live on TV, if they were televised. Remember, even Jerry Springer was "popular", by ratings standards, for the first 10 years. They are on the same level, intellectually speaking. Hannity and Beck are egoist jokes, and the rest are hard to take seriously.

mjollnir

11/03/2009 01:12:52 AM

You have every right to advocate for Faux News, just as sane level headed Americans can point out that they are merely a mouthpiece for the RNC, with the head honcho, Roger Ailes, being Nixon's former chief media advisor. Fox News is as much a "news organization" as the National Enquirer is a newsparer.
